Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 450

"How so?"

Rachel asked Joey as she tucked him in.

Joey shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"I’m stumped, too.I simply know it."

"Joey, do you want to stay in bed for a little longer? I’ll see the doctor and pick up some oatmeal.So that you have something to eat when you wake up."

Rachel was unable to explain to Joey tirat he was correct and that Victor’s life was in danger, so she was forced to shift the subject.

Joey’s arm began to hurt as the anesthesia wore off, and he grimaced.

"Mommy, it’s painful!" Joey said.

"I cannot find any sleep."

Rachel felt bad for Joey after seeing his pallid face.

"Okay, I’ll blow it for you.Just put up with it.It will only hurt for a while."

"Mommy, you haven’t made any promises yet."

Joey blinked his eyes and shifted the conversation back to it again.

After some hesitation, Rachel said, "I’ll record a video for you later."

Joey grinned for the first time since he woke up when he heard Rachel’s promise.

"Mommy, please assist me in blowing it out so it stops hurting."

After the anesthesia had worn off, Joey was in so much agony that his eyes grew crimson, yet he refused to shed a single tear.

Rachel had no choice except to softly console him as she stood by him.

Joey eventually slept off after some time, probably because he was exhausted or numb from the discomfort.

Rachel walked out of the ward around four o’clock in the morning.

The hallway of the ward was quite dim.

Nurses working at the nursing station couldn’t keep their eyes open and ended up falling asleep.

After a long day, Rachel must be fatigued..

In her body, she could sense that it was urging her to go to sleep.

But that was not about to happen.

Ding! The doors of the elevator gently slid open.

Rachel didn’t realize until now that she had reached the floor where Victor was receiving the operation.

Still, the operating room’s door remained locked and the red words "in operation" were still displayed.

"Miss Bennet."

After hearing the elevator doors open, Lukas turned around and spotted Rachel.

Rachel exited the elevator and greeted him in a sleepy voice.

They exchanged a gaze.She could see the white hair on his temples at a glimpse in the dim light.

For no apparent reason, she felt that Lukas had aged significantly.

"How is Joey doing, Miss Bennet?"

Lukas inquired with concern.

"I’m genuinely concerned about Mr.Sullivan; I didn’t go visit Joey right away."

"He’s in good condition.However, the anesthetic was worn off and his arm started hurting.He just dozed off," Rachel explained.

"That is good news."

While he exhaled a sigh of relief, Lukas’ expression remained grave.

Rachel questioned, "Lukas… When did you get here?"
